Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is looking to modernize campgrounds in national parks to better suit recreational vehicles.
According to E & E News:
Expanded and modernized spaces for recreational vehicles in national parks might be where the rubber meets the road as Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke pushes for improved public-private partnerships.
